Alissa Wilkinson New York Times We’re drawn into their world, and that’s what makes the “Youth” movies so appealing: the takes are very long, and we get to dwell inside the frame. Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com There's so much detail and such a clear sense of dramatic proportion that it almost doesn't matter that the movie doesn't resolve itself traditionally or with a full stop. Rated: 3/4 Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Ryan Swen Slant Magazine As indicated by the combination of a final sequence in which another worker returns home in 2019 and the last shot of this nine-hour endeavor, to return is a never-ending process, full of sadness yet tinged with hope. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Mildly engaging without being profound, provocative or very moving. Like the previous films, it tests the audience's patience. Nov 1, 2024 Full Review Dan Schindel Hyperallergic “Homecoming” It skillfully compresses the five years of the “Youth” trilogy’s shoot, replicating the way that long hours at work and the respite of home can turn into a blur over time. Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Carlos Esquives Cinencuentro Because much of the story happens in provincial areas, the audience becomes a privileged observer of actions that have not yet been affected by modernity. It is a bittersweet farewell to the characters. [Full review in Spanish] Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
